Pros

There are no pros, Glassdoor.

Cons

They pretend to care about social causes while robbing their actual employees (the drivers) stone blind. They underpay office staff and run their business incompetently (e.g. they were calculating the tax wrong on their rental car contracts for years and then randomly decided to start charging the correct tax rate, causing scores of drivers to leave the platform). Seriously, don't work there.

Pros

Academic environment that has a lot of interesting science problems from mapping, optimization, plus all the usual user metrics. Rewarding and complex problems that often have a lo t of tradeoff.

Cons

For how good the ICs are, leadership is equally bad. Just riddled with poor decisions top/down. Also given the current state, Uber is just too strong of a competitor and you feel that pressure every day.
